Dam­age re­sis­tance

The fab­ric you choose should be stain re­sis­tant, es­pe­cially if you have chil­dren. You might also want it to be mould-proof (for fur­ni­ture in hu­mid rooms) and re­sis­tant to dis­coloura­tion (if left in the sun). Above all, the fab­ric should be rub re­sis­tant, a prop­erty mea­sured in “dou­ble rubs.” A score of 15,000 dou­ble rubs in­di­cates a highly durable ma­te­rial.
